We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring Presidente Franco in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
